For your Friday viewing pleasure, allow us to reintroduce you to Duende, the ambitious Spanish restaurant, bar, bodega and music venue from chef-owner Paul Canales (and the subject of this week’s Bar Bites feature). Since opening earlier this year, Duende has been a tough reservation in Uptown Oakland. And like any new restaurant, it has already evolved plenty — most notably, with live music every night and an expanded bodega area.

For those who can’t nab an elusive reservation, or maybe just want to see what all the fuss is about, the bar area at Duende is home to finely crafted cocktails ($9), sherries, and a full food menu. Check out scenes from a night at the bar in the gallery above, plus a few of Canales’ top tapas.
